_In Canada 


An Appeal For Children 


« 4, - { 

THE WAR LEFT LARGE NUMBERS of people in Europe and in Asia 
homeless and ,witHout means, of earning a living, The great social problem 
arising from the plight of. these people has been to some extent solved, 
with many thousands of displaced persons finding homes and becoming re- 
established in this country, and in other lands not ravaged by war, There 
are however, still many who have been less fortunate, and these include 
millions of childten. who, a8 a result of the war, live under conditions of 
privation and misery which it is difficult. for people in a country such as 


ours to imagine. 


U.N. Has Dealt 
With Problem 


Through ‘the International Children’s Emergency 
Fund the United Nations has dealt with this prob- 
lem, providing shelter and care for great numbers 
of homeless destitute children. 


This work. re- 


quires a considerable amount of money, and from time to time funds have 
run low, threatening the success of this great. humanitarian effort. Canada 
is among the countries which have been giving financial support to the 
undertaking,.and in proportion to the population these contributions have 


compared favorably with those of other countries. 


This year, the federal 


government is giving $1,075,000 to the fund, which represents a consider- 
able increase over last year’s contribution of $400,000. 


se. 68 
In addition to the amount given by the government, 
appeals are made under the auspices of the United 
Nations Appeal for Children, which is an organiza- 
tion incorporated under Canadian charter. 


Is Supported 


This 


appeal for donations from individual citizens receives the support of many 
organizations in Canada, including the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, 
the’ National Council of Women -and various service clubs, churches and 


‘other bodies. 


In all, some $2,000,000 was put into the fund last year by 


Canada, but it has been pointed out that nearly $10,000,000 was spent here 
in the same year by the Emergency Fund, for supplies with which to carry 
on the work. That the children of today are the citizens of tomorrow is 


a truism which is frequently heard, 


The. millions of children in Europe 


and in Asia whom the Children’s Emergency Fund seeks to help will, in a 
few years, be adults whose attitudes and convictions are in a measure 


being determined now. 


On humanitarian grounds, and in the interests of 


the future relations between the people of those lands and our own, Cana- 


dians should not neglect the opportunity to support the Emergency Fund: 


as long as that type of help is required.

LONDON.—The leader of the Op-

unusual appeal to’ 500 electors at a 
meeting in Wagga, New South Wales, 
according to the Australian Depart- 
ment of Information. 

“Tf you throw anything at me,” he 
said, “let it be a firm tomato. I take

New Industries 
All-Time High | 
For Manitoba 


WINNIPEG. —= aii Mecustactoring: 
production La Manitoba will be 
an all-time high thisyear. Nat- 
ural resources minister f. 
Diarmid has estimated t at by 


wet end it will reach a gross 


483,000,000, 7% cent. 
above the 1948 sonido of .$450;- 
000,000.- . 


Industries employ 42,000 and esti- 
mated: gross wage earnings in 1949 
will be about $87,000,000. 

Forty ‘new industries started. oper- 
ations, most. of them comparatively 
small but their output accounts for 
part of the $33,000,000 increase over 
last year in gross volume of produc- 
tion, ~ 

Since rural electrification in Mani- 
toba. got under way, many of these 
industries established in small towns 
where over-all cost of operation is 
generally lower. 

Another phase of the expansion 
picture has been the unusual number 
of British firms getting into the 
western market. In the last 12 
months, Mr. McDiarmid said nearly 
100 have established agencies ‘and 
more than 95 per cent. of them are 
located in Winnipeg. 

Mr. McDiarmid said developments 
indicate British manufacturers real- 
ize they must. have representation in 
Western Canada, if they hoped to sell 
their goods between Lakehead and 
the Rocky Mountains, :

Miracle Drug 
Available Soon 


NEW YORK. — Canada’s -health 
minister announced that a small sup- 
ply of cortisone will be available af- 
ter Jan, 1 to Canadian researchers. 
Cortisone is the drug which promises 
almost-miraculous relief to arthritic 
sufferers, 

Paul Martin said in a statement 
that if further -experience justifies 

wide use of the drug it is hoped it 
may become available for general 
distribution. 

‘He said startling results have been 
already’ obtained from the. small 
quantities of cortisone now available, 
adding however: 

“Those whose hopes hate been 
raised by stories about this magic 
drug must remember that it is still 
in the experimental stage and that 
arthritic sufferers will probably re- 
quire continuous treatment.

The occupied farm area of Saskat-

which is about half of the occupied 
farm land in the prairie provinces 
and about one-third of all Canada.

WINNIPEG, | ‘Agipronimétdly 95 
per cent. of the 1949 flax crop. has 
reached the top grade; number one. 
Canada western, but the average oil 
content, of the new crop is below 
last year, the research laboratory of 
thé board of grain commissioners re- 
ported, : . 

This year the western Canadian 
flax crop was slightly above 2,000,- 
000 bushels, the laboratory’s report 
said, noting that it, was the smallest 
crop since 1939, 


It described the results of its sam- 
ple survey as follows: 

‘Analysis of average samples rep- 
resenting 717 carlots of flax inspect- 
ed during the first three months of 
the season gave a mean oil content: 
of 40.3 per cent. and a mean ‘iodine 
value of 186 units. Corresponding 


‘| figures for the complete 1948-49 ‘crop 


year are 41.1 per cent. and 185. units. 

A survey of the oil content, iodine 
value, and protein content of p54 
samples of the first three grades of 
new-crop flax, representing 156 sta-

Beaver Flourishing In Huge oe 
Nursery In Northern Manitoba 


WINNIPEG—vVast areas of North- 
ern Manitoba have been turned into 
a huge beaver nursery. 

Compared with a closed season in 
1942-43 when there was no profit 
from the declining beaver population. 
Manitoba last year netted $425,000. 

A Northland variety of dogcatcher 
and regulated trapping. keep the pelt 
yield steady and eliminate “nuisance” 
beavers. 

For years the beaver was a prob- 
lem for railwaymen, daming cul- 
verts gnd causing floods on the lines. 
Once a rail crew spent three suc+ 
cessive days cleaning out a culvert 
only to find it plugged again by 
morning. They finally had to shoot 
the beaver. Six carloads of gravel 
were needed for repairs. 

In 1945 a “nuisance patrol” .was 
formed to travel the railway on gaso- 
line hand-cars and trap the pests. 
In their first year, the two-man team 
caught 152 beavers. This year the 
objective is 250—an impressive: ‘figure 
when it is realized three females pro- 
duce about 300 descendants in five 
years. 

Beavers caught by the patrol are 
not killed, but transplanted by air- 
plane,. train, truck or dogsled to 
areas where there are a few of the 
animals. 

The Manitoba government, having 
seen the provincial beaver trade fall 
to.a point where a ‘closed season” 
sign ‘was needed, brought in the reg-

istered traplines: system in 1940. The 
idea is to control the annual Kill so 
that enough beavers are left to breed 
a new crop. 

A Manitoba game and _ fisheries 
branch official said “transplanting” 
animals; is an important part of the 
contro} set-up. 

“There was a closed season as far 
as beavers were concerned in 1942- 
48, because of the scarcity of the, 
animal,” he said. “In 1947-48, how- 
ever, 10,762 beavers were trapped 
and their pelts sold. 

“While Manitoba's figure is not 
nearly as impressive as that of On- 
tario "or Quebec—the latter has a 
crop about four times as big—it is 
fair for the province's, size in com- 
parison with the other. two,”

OUR COMPLETE SHORT sToRy— 4 


A Quiet But Pretty W 


By M. J. COLLINS 


H! Isn't he the darling!” Peggy, 
my sister, exclaimed when she 
really saw our two-and-a-half-year- 
old son, Rick. He’d been under her 
nose, so to speak, all the time,, but 
there was an excuse for her, Peggy 
would be married in a few minutes. 
. Young Rick was wearing a white 
satin suit and it was my express job 
to see that he, kept it clean. Peggy 
had thought it would be cute for 
Rick to be the ring bearer and the 
wife agreed with her right away, so 
I kept’ my opinion to' myself. Well, 
it would soon be. all over. 

The bridal party were in the vesti- 
bule. of the church waiting for the 
wedding march to begin. .Mary, my 
wife, was making a few last-minute 
adjustments to Peggy’s wedding 
dress, 

“Now you know what you're sup- 
posed to do, son?” TI asked sitting 
down on my. heels. He nodded his 
blonde head vigorously. “I’m to 
carry the ring on the cushioh to the 
front of the church, and em not. to 
say a word.” He rattled the words 
off quickly. ‘ 

“Oh, leave hirh alone!’ my _ wife 
said impatiently, “or you'll have him 
all rattled. He knows what to do. 
We had enough rehearsals. to make 
everything easy. “And,” she contin- 
ued, finishing. with Peggy’s dress, 
“you'd better -hurry to your.’ seat, 

7 we're ready to start up the aisle.” 
Slipping something unobtrusively. in- 
to Ricky’s hand I did as: she suggest- 


pounded him vigorously on the back. 
Finally he managed to. gasp, “I swal- 
lowed it!” I think everyone in the 
church heard him, My wife gave a 
frightened little cry and grabbing 
him up in her™arms began to pound 
harder, 

“Where’s my wedding ring?” 
Peggy asked, not seeming to under- 
stand what had happened. The whole 
family crowded up on the wedding 
party. / : 

“Hold him up by the heels’ and 
shake him, it might come out,” some- 
oné suggested; 

* “Thump him @ little: harder.” 

“I'm only trying to get married,” 
Peggy wailed. 

“He swallowed it,” my wife~ said, 
“we'd better get him to a doctor im- 
mediately.” 

“Maybe he only choked on a hair,” 
the best man said hopefully, “I al- 
most did when I was a kid. Let’s 
look on the floor for the ring.” 

Every available man dropped to 
his knees and began to scrutinize the, 
floor minutely, ‘Here, use this!’* My 
Wife pulled off her wedding ring and 
pushed it into Bill’s hand. “Hurry; 
Dan, and let’s get this young mdh to 
the doctor’s:” Taking the now quiet

Rick out of her arms, we hurried out 
of the church. “Rick’s ‘all right, 
Daddy,” he insisted, biit I wasn’t too 
sure of that, Behind us the. bridal 
party remustered to get Peggy and 
Bill married, 

Our doctor’s office is at the other 
end. of town, but since it’s only a 
small place we reached it in-a few 
minutes. Just as we weré getting 
out of the car Rick took something 
out of his pocket. . 

“Oh, my gosh!” my wife exclaim- 
ed loudly, “here’s the ring! He had 
it in his pocket, all the time.” She 
turned to him relieved, ~ but angry. 
“You bad boy, telling fibs like that. 
Scaring everyone half to death!” 

“Hey, don’t.” I stopped her, “May- 
be he did swallow something. What 
did you do with the candy I gave 
you in church?” 

“I swallowed it, Daddy.” 

“There it wasn’t the ring at all,” 
I said almost triumphantly, 

“Why,” my wife demanded, “did 
you give him a candy? Of all the 
hairbrained things .. .”. 

‘I gave it to‘ him so he'd stay 
quiet,” I explained lamely, “you 
know what a perfect imp he can be 
if he ever gets started.” 

“Poor Peggy will never forgive us, 
but why; I'd like to know, did he put 
the ring in his pocket.’”- 

“Daddy said the best plaice for a 
ring was in a man’s pocket,”’. “Rick
